Monday’s Book Nook recommend this week? Reality by Peter Kingsley.
Kingsley has been one of my favorite finds of the year. I’ve devoured three of his books like a plate of gluten-free brownies. An incredibly erudite scholar, Kingsley takes decades of research of ancient Greek and Mediterranean texts and puts in ‘regular reader’ terminology a surprising story of an ancient esoteric tradition that lay as foundation to the entire modern Western Christian society. He argues against current beliefs – supporting his arguments with recent archeological finds and new translations of old texts – that call us to question certain ideas that are taken as foundation from law to government to medicine to the deeply spiritual. Get ready!
